Effect of Constraint-Led and Game Sense Education Approaches on Visual Search in Girls Aged 10-11 Years Old: A Study Using Naive-Local Games

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the evolution of physical education teaching from a traditional teacher-centered approach to a student-centered approach. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Constraint-led and game sense approaches on visual search in girls aged 10-11 years old using native-local games.

This research was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test that was performed in the field. Fifty-five girl students (aged 10-11 years) were randomly divided into two groups: hybrid Constraint-led/game sense and traditional. Subjects practiced for 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and 1 hour per session according to the educational approach of their group. Caglab software was used to evaluate visual search.

The results of Mixed ANOVA showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the hybrid group. It can be said that 90% of the changes in children's visual search were influenced by their education based on the hybrid approach. While in traditional education, no significant effect was observed in the relevant variable.

It is important for schools' teachers to support students in effectively implementing hybrid approaches in the school environment. Opportunities should be provided to enable students to develop their conceptual understanding of constraint-led and game sense teaching based on a nonlinear approach.
